G. Heileman Brewing

(Stroh Brewery Company)

(Large Brewery - Closed)

Last updated: September 8, 2000

1111 South Third Street
La Crosse WI 54601

Opened 1872.
Closed December 31, 1999.
Brewer: John Snyder.
7,900,000 bbl annual capacity.

Along with its regular line of Heileman products, this brewery produces Boston Beer Company beers. They also produced beer for Portland OR's Widmer Brewing, but does so no longer.

Pabst is moving its production to this brewery from the now-closed Milwaukee plant.

This plant closed after Stroh folded, but it has since reopened as City Brewing.

My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
13.5 points overall

• Old Style
  Style 16 - American Lager
  • 12.5 points - Beer #33-2773, Holiday Inn North Shore, Skokie IL, May 14, 1998
    Golden, moderate carbonation, thick head. Sweet, sulfury aroma. Very light, sweet, lots of DMS. Some hops late, but not a whole lot.

• Special Export (bottled)
  Style 16 - American Lager
  • 14 points - Beer #30-2461, Willman's, Grand Island NE, March 20, 1998
    Golden, high carbonation, thick head. Very slightly malty aroma. Light body, pretty smooth, fairly sweet. Actually finishes with a hint of malt.
